PREAMBLE 1


Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate Submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).

   Sections 302--305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin an acknowledgment noting receipt of Notices of Intent to Remediate. An acknowledgment of the receipt of a Notice of Intent to Remediate is used to identify a site where a person proposes to, or has been required to, respond to a release of a regulated substance at a site. Persons intending to use the Background Standard, Statewide Health Standard, the Site-Specific Standard or who intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department provides a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known or suspected contaminants at the site, the proposed remediation measures for the site and a description of the intended future use of the site. A person who demonstrates attainment of one, a combination of the cleanup standards or who receives approval of a special industrial area remediation identified under the act will be relieved of further liability for the remediation of the site for any contamination identified in reports submitted to and approved by the Department. Furthermore, the person shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.

   Under sections 304(n)(1)(ii) and 305(c)(2) of the act, there is a 30-day public and municipal comment period for sites proposed for remediation using a Site-Specific Standard, in whole or in part, and for sites remediated as a special industrial area. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the sites identified, proposed for remediation to a Site-Specific Standard or as a special industrial area, the municipality within which the site is located may request to be involved in the development of the remediation and reuse plans for the site if the request is made within 30 days of the date specified. During this comment period, the municipality may request that the person identified as the remediator of the site develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved and comments should be directed to the remediator of the site.

   For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office before which the notice appears. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

   The Department has received the following Notices of Intent to Remediate:

PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS

NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an ''integrated'' plan approval, State operating permit and Title V operating permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.

   The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities.

   Copies of the applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the regional office identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.

   Persons wishing to receive a copy of a proposed plan approval or operating permit must indicate their interest to the Department regional office within 30 days of the date of this notice and must file protests or comments on a proposed plan approval or operating permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Comments or protests filed with the Department regional offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the Plan approval or operating permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior the date of the hearing.

   Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office identified before the application. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

   41-00005C: Lycoming Engines (652 Oliver Street, Williamsport, PA 17701) a batch vapor degreaser, a solvent flush booth and two solvent dip tanks at 652 Oliver Street, City of Williamsport, Lycoming County.

   The respective facility is a major facility for which Title V Operating Permit 41-00005 has been issued.

   The batch vapor degreaser will be used to clean metal aircraft engine parts with perchloroethylene which has been designated as an HAP by the EPA. It will incorporate a refrigerated freeboard chiller as well as various design features (cover, extended freeboard, and the like) to control the emission of perchloroethylene. The batch vapor degreaser is expected to emit up to 1.84 tons of perchloroethylene in a 12 consecutive month period.

   The solvent flush booth and two solvent dip tanks will also be used to clean metal aircraft engine parts, but will do so using mineral spirits. They are expected to emit up to a combined total of .73 ton of VOCs in a 12 consecutive month period, of which .00073 ton will also be HAPs.

   The Department's review of the information submitted by Lycoming Engines indicates that the batch vapor degreaser, solvent flush booth and two solvent dip tanks will meet all applicable air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 129.63 and the requirements of Subpart T of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Categories, 40 CFR 63.460--63.470. Based on this finding, the Department intends to issue a plan approval for the construction of the batch vapor degreaser, solvent flush booth and two solvent dip tanks. Additionally, if the Department determines that the batch vapor degreaser, solvent flush booth and two solvent dip tanks are operating in compliance with all applicable plan approval conditions and regulatory requirements, the conditions established in the plan approval will be incorporated into Title V Operating Permit 41-00005 via administrative amendment under 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
